Men Don't Tell DVD For Sale 1993 Peter Strauss

DVD Synopsis and information:This is a unique story among the vast Made For TV dramas about domestic and spouse abuse. Nearly all of these deal with women that are routinely victimized by the men in their lives. Men Don't Tell is the dramatization and adaptation of the true story about a loving husband Ed MacAffrey (played marvelously by Peter Strauss) who is terrorized by the extremely violent behavior of his wife Laura, played by Judith Light. MacAffrey (Strauss) has long endured Laura's physical and emotional abuse heaped upon him by his very neurotic wife (Light), not only because he has deep feeling for her but he is also concerned over the welfare of his daughter. Men are traditionally regarded as weak if they allow themselves to be abused physically by their spouses.

Worse yet, after one of Laura's emotionally destructive fits of rage brings on the attention of local law enforcement. Ed is then suspected of being the instigator. Laura continues her pattern of abuse and starts to go too far and Ed tries to defend himself then subsequently Laura gets thrown through the front window of their home and suffers a brain injury and lands in a coma. Ed is arrested for the attempted murder of Laura. Though the ending of the story could be considered a positive outcome, it is strikingly clear that there are many issues that will never be resolved when it comes to female abuse to the male. Men Don't Tell shows
another side to spousal abuse that not many people consider or thought possible.
